You know what I mean when even the idea of something better, something easier is outside of our grasp. So far that you can’t imagine that it really exists. Have you ever caught yourself arguing against your own Good? Your own Wellbeing? Your own Happiness? I think this is where the saying “They’d rather be right than Happy” comes from.

Well, I have! Let me be frank…… it stunk. There was a time in my life I literally fought for my victimhood and actively participated in a limiting illusion. Why? Because I lost my connection to Source Energy. I lost my sense that I mattered, that I was a Creator, that I had power. In fact, during that time I was confused, sad and lacking purpose, I questioned why I wanted to be on planet earth. Everything felt so meaningless.

99% of the time it’s our thoughts about our life, not our actual life that is making us unhappy. SO WHAT GIVES??? Here we are, powerful creators, who can and do create our own JOY or Misery by where we are consistently flowing energy mostly in the form of our thoughts.

BUT………….. when we are not tapped in, tuned in, turned on by Source Energy meaning we are trying to do it all by ourselves as solo providers of our well being, we run out of steam fast. Our energy drops, our limiting thoughts kick in, the inner critic jumps on the chance to tell you-you are not good enough and the spiral begins.

You know what usually kicks it in too? Someone out there, outside of ourselves telling us, accusing us, disappointing us, reflecting back to us their fears and insecurities and we believe them. Our lover doesn’t love us anymore. It must be our fault. Our teacher doesn’t validate us, I must not be worthy. Our friends take advantage of us, we don’t feel our value.

OKAY, WHAT DO WE DO????

I had a friend in college that drove this smoking, beat up 15-year-old Plymouth Duster in blue. She got cases used oil from the garage because the car literally ate a gallon of oil a week. She had this long stick to open the back window, while driving mind you, to let the smoke out that would fill the car. Whatever life threw at Laura she had a workaround. She was and is today the most fluid individual I know and the Queen of Life Hacks.

In the broader picture we know that life just happens, continuously unfolding and opening before us. Even if we are feeling stuck change is still happening all around us. The food you just had for lunch is being absorbed and becoming part of your cellular structure changing you fundamentally from the inside.

It’s easy to get caught up in the swirling mass of energy. Lose our focus, sometimes dreadfully, even ourselves for a bit. How does one understand the shifting sands, stay on top of the changing tides, navigate an evolving landscape? Your monthly Astrology Report based on your Natal Mandala, the Gateway of your Entrance into this Life, is the key to this report’s powerful influence and the answer to What the Heck does this all Mean.

Being aware of the movement of energy in your life, the high notes, and the baritones, helps you make the most of every experience. Planning your adventures becomes a breeze, your life begins to make sense. The time to reap and the time to sow becomes apparent. Anxiety falls away because you are in sync with your natural rhythms.

We all may not be as fluid like as lovely Laura, but we certainly don’t have to stumble around in the dark tripping over the furniture either 😉This Monthly Insider’s report has been my Life Hack for the last 10 years. It stays tucked in my calendar, open in a tab on my computer and by my side because it is packed full of insight and real-life guidance.

That’s the super-short version of my advice for those moments when nothing seems to be going as planned — when everything you want seems out of reach.

Just be right where you are, with an open mind.

Let go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and sincerely appreciate it for everything that it is.

Easier said than done of course, especially when tragedy strikes. We’ve all coped with real tragedies, but let’s be honest: we create a lot of tragedy in our lives out of fairly minor incidents. Something doesn’t go exactly as planned, we freak out about it and let stress become us.

Truth be told, the biggest difference between peace and stress is attitude. It’s about how you look at a situation and what you decide to do with it. It’s remembering that there are no certainties in life — you don’t know exactly what the future will bring. So your best strategy for living is to make the best and most positive use of the present moment, even when it disappoints you…

Especially when it disappoints you!

Your life, with all its ups and downs, with all its unexpected twists and turns, has molded you for the greater good. Your life has been exactly what it needed to be up to this point. Don’t think you’ve lost time. Don’t think you haven’t arrived. It took each and every intricate and confusing situation you have encountered to bring you to right here, right now.

And if you have the courage to admit that you’re a little scared, the ability to smile even as you cry, the nerve to ask for help when you need it, and the wisdom to take it when it’s offered, then you have everything you need at this moment.

The only thing stopping you is your mind and the thoughts you entertain. Take a deep breath and re-center yourself. You’ve become a true master of your life when you learn how to master your focus. Value what you give your energy to. Focus your energy on what matters most — the present.

Some things to remember while moving forward…

It’s truly powerful and beautiful when a person’s intentions are genuine. Remember to do things for the right reasons, even when things don’t work out as planned. Your “why” must be bigger than the disappointments and challenges you face. As often as you can, remind yourself why! With a strong enough reason why, you’ll be able to do what’s required at any time and in any circumstance.

If somebody is working on themselves and changing for the better, it’s unnecessary to keep bringing up their past. People can change and grow. Take this to heart, and show yourself the same courtesy too. Oftentimes you don’t even realize that you’re blocking your own present blessings by holding on to the past. Start letting go and be present now.

Calmness is a human superpower. The ability to not overreact or take things personally keeps your mind clear and your heart at peace. It’s never too late to change your attitude about something you can’t change. Just decide to make the best of it. Take life day by day and be grateful for the little things. Let go of all the purposeless drama, aimless time-wasters, and mental clutter that keeps getting in your way.

Take care of your mind and the way you speak to yourself. Don’t let negative self-talk defeat you. Talk like you are blessed. Walk like you are blessed. Think like you are blessed. Work like you are blessed. And you will be, one way or another.

The wrong choices can bring us to the right places. The biggest failures often carry the best lessons. When you fail to get what you want, consider that it just might be a blessing in disguise. Seriously, be grateful that certain connections and situations didn’t work out. If you didn’t let go and learn, you would be stuck with false promises.

It’s funny how we outgrow what we once thought we couldn’t live without, and then we fall in love with what we didn’t even know we wanted. Eventually, you’ll end up where you need to be, doing the right things, alongside the right people. Patience and persistence are the key. But don’t forget to pause on occasion and appreciate how far you’ve come, so you can step forward again with grace.

Go ahead and sing out loud in the car with the windows down, dance in your living room with your family, stay up late laughing, paint your walls any color you want, and enjoy some sweet wine and chocolate cake. Go ahead and sleep in on clean white sheets, throw spontaneous parties, and read books so good you lose track of time. Just keep living and making God glad that he gave life to someone who loves and appreciates the gift.

I have a few single session appts. available between now and June 8th. This is a great time to invest in your inner work and open up your receiving of the desires of your heart. Is it Love that you are seeking? Purpose? Or maybe your desires are clear but the road is not.

The desires of your heart were placed there by God. It is your destiny to fulfill them. Working with your Guides is a deeply moving and loving experience. They understand the fullness of you. Working with me often begins to open more access for you to work with your Guides directly and know their wisdom for yourself.

You are worthy. Everyone is worthy of love, peace, prosperity, happiness, and vibrant health. Well then tell me, if we are all so freakin’ worthy then why are most of us living like Paupers instead of Princes?

Worthiness, as we talked about in Your Emotional Guidance System: Doubtful Directions?, is innate. It just is. You are worthy of your dreams because you dream them. You are worthy of love because you have the ability to love. You are worthy because you made it here. HERE. Right HERE. Planet Earth.

Worthiness is not a variable. It doesn’t shift when we change locations or switch topics. Confidence may vary from bikini to boardroom, but we are not our confidence. Our relationship to our worthiness, our feelings on a variety of topics, the stories we tell ourselves will, at any given time, determine how much of our worthiness we are allowing ourselves to connect to moment to moment.

WORTHINESS (wor·thi·ness noun)
the quality of being good enough, the quality of deserving attention or respect.

In working with clients, I often see how they confuse “Worthiness” with Value. It’s completely different. Value describes the usefulness of a person or thing. Our possessions, homes, vehicles can all be “valued”. We are taught values by our parents and society growing up. Our code of conduct to live by, or not. Value is assigned by the world. We evaluate and calculate value. We offer our Value. Value can be tangible or intangible but it is always resides outside of you. An NFL player may have high value to his team, but if he gets hurt his value declines His worthiness, however, is still intact.

“If you tie your Worthiness to your Value you will always be at the whim of changing circumstances. “

When you feel worthy of a good feeling body you take care of yourself. When you feel worthy of love your seek out a mate capable of being a good partner. When you feel worthy of happiness you create a life that supports that vision. When you feel worth of your goals you go on the journey to fulfill those intentions. Value is something we usually assign after the fact. After the manifestation, after the experience and the process is complete.

All in all, while our Value or our Values do not equate our worthiness, it is our sense of worthiness that directly influences our Value in our lives.

“Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.” – Khalil Gibran

Doubt can plague us, follow us, haunt us, cause us sleepless nights and many distracted hours. It creeps into the corners of our minds where certainty once stood shining brightly. If left unchecked, doubt will immobilize our actions and freeze our creative flow. Where does it come from and how can we benefit from doubt? Is Doubt a friend or a foe?

Overall Doubt can be a sign from our Emotional Guidance System that we need more information. We are unsure and unconvinced of the reality before us. In our fluid reality doubt can be seen as a flag signaling that we are going in the right direction and a few tweaks will keep on the right path, or that we are about to be thrown off the road into the bushes all together.

In an ongoing relationship for instance, doubt can let us know in the early subtle stages that the energy in relationship is shifting. We may be picking up on faint outward signs that we and our partner are not in sync. When we doubt a partner’s sincerity it’s a sign to look deeper. It’s also a sign to slow down because the road ahead is not what it seems. Addressing our doubts with a partner can also send us down roads of greater intimacy. They always signal that further information is available to us if we choose to look.

“Doubt is useful, it keeps faith a living thing. After all, you cannot know the strength of your faith until it has been tested.” – David Magee

There is another form of Doubt, the less kind form. The kind that feels like a dark, slouching presence residing in the corner of our room at night. The kind that feels like the overflow of the emotional closet, a place where all our fears and insecurities are “safely” tucked away. You know the closet, the tightly locked up space within us that allows us to function… as long as we don’t peak inside.

This kind of Doubt erodes our confidence, stops us cold if we try something new, dream too big, or aim too high. It erodes the bonds of our most personal relationships and stands in judgment of even our most innate goodness. This is not your friend or your Inner Guidance. Its nature is elusive. Its roots hard to follow. How do we tame such a beast we cannot see, or taste, or touch?

This Doubt is a red Flag, a big ole Waving in your face red Flag. Its roots lie in our worthiness. Our worthiness is our ability to realize the Divine Nature of our Being, our connection to Source Eternal, to the All that Is, God/dess. Doubt does not create this separation, but it is an indication that we are separating ourselves from Divine Life force. Accepting the Divinity of our Nature, that we are here for a purpose, a reason, that our presence is not a mistake or an accident of fate is the first step to accepting that there are bigger forces at play in our lives and that our lives matter.

Acceptance of the Divine within is the beginning to taming the doubts that chase you through your days and nights. It is the first step to allowing Healing, Love, and Forgiveness, both for self and for others, to take hold. It will bring the Peace that alludes you and the surety of your place in the world, no matter the turbulence of the waves around you. You are loved. You are Worthy. You do Belong Here.
